Generally, two contours lines can't cross each other and also can't unit together. But there are two cases in which contours line cross each other i.e overhanging cliff and unit to gather i.e vertical cliff.

Option C is right. I too agree.

Answer D is possible only in case of vertical cliff.

The correct answer is C.

The contour lines having the same elevation cannot unite and continue as one line.
A contour can not end abruptly, but must ultimately close itself not necessarily within the limits of the map.
The direction of steepest slope at a point on a contour is at right angles to the contour.

The answer should be option C.

Contours of different elevations cannot unite but contours of same elevations can unite to form single contour.

Two contour lines cannot unite together except vertical cliff. So, option A and C is correct.

Option B also correct.
Two contour lines, can cross each other in case of Overhanging cliff.

@Suga.
They seem to meet because 2D representation cannot reproduce two or more stack curve separately. They cannot meet each other. They only stack.
